Nocturnal Whispers

[mysterious saxophone building tension] Sleep... To grow my empire. My realm of desire, my realm of isolation. Sleep... Heralds of tomorrow. Not begged, nor borrowed, I face the desolation... Of the rising sun (bearing down on me) Raise the curtain forcing me to see.... Thorns! I am the paragon! For when the day is gone, I revel in my primacy! Thorns! Though the day is long, I weather through these avenues. Sleep (my empire) Rise (back from the fire) No more sun, the raven has come Dream, please dream with me See... the way that I see... SLEEP! There's no golden temple bells Just my evolving hell. SLEEP! Only cold stones here to greet me and the raging black sea This is not a nightmare (nightmare nightmare nightmare...) This is not a nightmare (nightmare nightmare nightmare...) The ravens flying overhead (corvus veritas veritas veritas...) They show me I am really there.... I face the desolation Not your subjugation.... BURN! To rid you from my sight... I call upon the night.... BURN! This immensity; No stars will show us any light. (fading light...) BURN! To save my empire of pride (my empire) The realm I hide inside (ooohhhh) Fading light (ooohhhh) The ravens take flight Again (again again again...) Alone to solve the riddles of the night. (Raven's flight....) (again again again...) My ravens take flight! Again (again again again...) (again again again) [haunting saxophone outro]
